1.9 Switch and jumpers
1. CPU external frequency selection (FSB_SEL0, FSB_SEL1)
The motherboard frequency is adjusted through the jumpers. The
illustration below shows the positions of the jumper caps.
The option to set the CPU core bus frequency multiple is available only
on unlocked CPUs. If you are using a locked CPU, setting the switches
does not produce any effect.
The jumpers tells the clock generator what frequency to send the CPU.
This allows the selection of the CPU’s external frequency (or bus clock).
The bus clock multiplied by the frequency multiple equals the CPU’s
internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed).
The default CPU external frequency is 100MHz. If your CPU supports
200/166/133 MHz external frequency, adjust the jumper settings before
installing the motherboard to the chassis.
